    I don't think it is really...I think this is a jump start move for everybody not named Dame....cream floats to the top before the deadline...what cheap deals are worth hanging onto while we shop half a dozen players type move...Leonard is definitely being held out to avoid injury before the deadline

    Another GM: Why haven't you played Leonard if he's so good to trade for the piece you want?

    Yeah, that doesn't pass the logic test. Much like Nik said, that's hopeful wishing on our part that that is why he's being held out.

    That didn't help it at all, that hurts it.

    so you're not a fan of wishful thinking or possibilities.....I think Dallas will snag him..he has value to teams like the Mavs...so holding him out for a trade or part of a trade makes a lot of sense....otherwise Collins would be riding the pine

    no...it doesn't...he's healed...it's an insurance move and it was a sprained wrist...not microfracture surgery

    Damn you know who else used to say he was gonna tell us he told us so? Tunchi. Crazy how you two think alike, also said Dame was feast or famine, wasn’t a big fan of dame. Similar to you. Oh and he always campaigned for us to tank and go to the lottery. Sound familiar?

    I think this is only because it’s on a back to back and guess who returns for Cleveland tomorrow? Isaiah Thomas. Yay

    So, we think a small sample size of playing competently compared to what he's looked like in a much larger sample size?

    wishful thinking it is.

    Harkless and Mirotic will be swapping jerseys in a few weeks so it’s showcase night.

    I like that CJ hasn't touched the ball in the first 3 possessions.

    Then jacks up a shot.
